Description

Abortion, supply-side economics, the Moral Majority, and the Equal Rights

Amendment all get a look in during this installment of the semi-annual turning of the tables. And this time, our guests sometimes get sufficiently caught up with one another that not all the fire is directed at their host: Mrs. Pilpel: "You're attacking the Constitution... What you're really saying is that the system devised by the Founding Fathers was not a very good one ..." Mr. Sobran: "Let me reinterpret my remarks in my own way. Congress has the obligation to uphold the Constitution too. If the Court acts unconstitutionally, it should take some sort of action."
